When I first visited the park I was struck by how such a large
green and peaceful space with sweeping meadows, waterfalls and a lake (the only
lake in Brooklyn) could exists so close to the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.
Central Park’s less famous little sister, both parks were
designed by famous architect duo Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux. Its
said that Central Park was just the dress rehearsal and Prospect Park the star of the show as they were able to iron out all the mistakes made the first time
round.
Although Central Park is pretty fab, so not sure what the
kinks are!
The park is perfect for families as you will find Prospect
Park Zoo, a band shell that hosts free summer concerts, an ice rink, plenty of
sporty facilities and not to mention the amazing playgrounds.
When the sun first came out a few weeks ago, B and I grabbed
some bubbles, crayons, sandwiches and a rug and headed out for an adventure.
Our hastily scrambled together lunch obviously wasn’t too
bad as a squirrel came to investigate and stole one of our bananas. I’m not
even sure if its safe for squirrels to eat bananas!
We also saw several adorable chipmunks as we explored some of the walkways but unfortunately no photos, as they were too quick.
